Acolyte Program

Youth in grades 8 to 12 are invited to join our Acolyte program, assisting at the 10am worship service. Being an acolyte provides teens with an opportunity to fully participate in worship.

Acolytes carry the light of Christ into the Sanctuary before the service, light the candles on the Communion table and carry the light into the world (well, the Narthex) at the conclusion. Acolytes may receive the offering, offer the prayer of dedication, read the first scripture reading or participate in Baptism. Two acolytes serve each Sunday once every six weeks.
